Boston College would pay him to visit- I bet he doesnt go there. Purdue will pay him to visit- I bet he doesnt go there either. Loadholt wouldnt be here if Lebby didnt think he was an asset. Lebby coaches offense. He has watched every offensive play we ran this year probably 20 times. He knows what the problems were on the OL. If he thought Loadholt was the problem- we would have a new OL coach.
This is where I'll say Mike Leach's book makes a great point about assuming D1 Coaches being smart just because they're hired to a higher level than guys at lower levels. It's an assumption that Lebby is smart enough to make an informed decision here. But at the end of the day it is an assumption.
